On the 27th of February this year , my birthday, I lost my wonderful dad to Parkinson's and Dementia. As anyone who has travelled this road will tell you, in truth we lost him years ago.

There have been many people and organisations such as Parkinsons Uk that have supported my family over the past few years and I feel like its time to give back.

Having spent much of my childhood growing up in Scotland I know the terrain from Inverness to Loch Ness will be quite challenging and that's without the wonderful Scottish weather. Despite this I am determined to make dad proud and complete the 50k, your support and donations are really appreciated.
